Leadership Styles in Conflict Management

Leadership styles in conflict management refer to the different approaches leaders use to handle disagreements or tensions within a group. Common styles include: 1. **Avoidant**: Leaders sidestep conflict, hoping it resolves on its own. 2. **Accommodating**: Leaders prioritize others' needs over their own to maintain harmony. 3. **Competing**: Leaders assert their viewpoints strongly, seeking to win the argument. 4. **Collaborating**: Leaders work with all parties to find a mutually beneficial solution. 5. **Compromising**: Leaders seek a middle ground where each party gives up something. Effective leaders often adapt their style based on the situation and the people involved.
